Posted by GobbyI'm not going to go into too much detail here, but this trend of 'misrepresentation' via strategically taken photos (as opposed to bone fide catfishing) is deeply concerning.

I really don't understand how anyone can expect others to continue with the pretence, after discovering that they look considerably different IRL. Firstly, it's a conscious form of deception and, secondly, it adversely changes how the deceiver is perceived.

Expecting someone to shrug off the obvious physical inconsistencies and play along is very deluded. Such people are just setting themselves up for a fall, time and time again.

To some degree, we're all superficial when it comes to physical attraction but, if love is truly blind and such people consider themselves a great catch, why resort to deceit in the first place?

All 'misrepresentation' does is create an awkward situation for the person being deceived...

but it works for some, and some do shrug it off. they are just using the commercials "philosophy". we all know the product x will not clean the dishes like they say it will, and even after we saw it doesn't, we keep buying it since there's nothing better at the moment.

that actually makes sense. it's not like some of us will get close to them or date them. people fap on their pics or whatever they do idk, and no one cares is it real or not.

These goddam filters with the big eyes and the clean shiny skin. This site and every other is bad for it, and I've seen no filter photos these women then they ho and do this butter. I don't get it.

Insecurities masquerading as self-confidence.

Blame smartphones and their associated apps. Back in the day, your only option was a digital camera. While 'misrepresentation' could still occur (e.g. angles), if you have a good eye for detail, you'd easily be able to tell. Now, things have just gotten more complicated...

Posted by DiannaI never met anyone on a dating app but I have to agree about the misrepresentation of photos. Some ugly people in rl look drop dead gorgeous on facebook. They photoshopped and filtered off 100 lbs, a double chin, acne, cross eyes and a full mustache.

I can't disagree with that but that 'approach' won't work with everyone. Those who 'misrepresent' themselves should at least accept that fact, instead of blaming everyone but themselves...
